I strongly echo this recommendation. This is clearly a show written by an author familiar with the concepts of takeoffs, alignment, etc. Not in a subtle or simply thematic way, the characters explicitly talk about these topics using those same terms. (Though it takes a few episodes.)
But not in the UK, as yet. “Your region is not supported at this time — please check back later.”
On the other hand, for those who don’t care to watch TV at all, the plot summaries are available on Wikipedia, where I also see that the series is based on some short stories by Ken Liu, written for a series of anthologies of stories on apocalyptic themes.
